Full Job Description
Major League Baseball is on a multi-year mission to reimagine the fan journey and bring innovation to the baseball experience. The MLB Ballpark app and ticketing products are the primary touch points for converging the physical and digital worlds for fans, providing deeper interactions when planning or attending live games at the ballpark and creating lifelong memories. The Product Operations Manager role within the MLB Ballpark Experience and Ticketing Product organization will be responsible for operationally delivering “phygital” experiences (i.e., those combining physical and digital elements) that will enhance the fan’s experience getting into the ballpark, while at the game, and leaving the stadium.
